I'll like to end with this thought: This is not just about solving a problem, building a movement, or making money. It's about having a positive impact on the world, making the most of the gifts you've been given, and realizing your full potential as a human being.

"We're here to solve a mystery" and that mystery is, "why am I here?" Our goal is to help people end the pain of rape and sexual harassment. As Barack Obama once said, "do not see the world as it is, see the world as it should be".

Now I'm asking you: why are you here?
